Approximately 8 week old silkie is limping/fluttering when she attempts to move around, but she's mostly sitting behind the waterer. I lost my grip on her 4 days ago and she fell onto the garage floor. She's staying quite still most of the time, but when she does move, she's trying to...

That's what I thought. I just wanted to confirm before I sent them off to a new home. I had separated the girls (hopefully).

Oh yeah, there was a feather picker in the pen. That's why several of them look rough.

We have a baby!!

One of my new babies has a crossed beak. :( I noticed it today. Any words of wisdom?

Any tips for chicks on FF? My babies are a week old, and I give them some every day, but they trample it until it's like concrete. I always end up scraping it up to break it apart and adding some dry chick starter to keep everything crumbly. My FF tends toward the dry side anyway.

What is the role of hard boiled eggs in preventing/ treating coccidiosis? I have seen it mentioned a few times.

This is such an interesting discussion. We've had some similar ones recently in my local FB chicken group. In our area, testing for sick birds costs $50, plus the cost of overnight shipping or travel to the facility (it would be a 3 hour round trip for me)...time/cost prohibitive for most. Our...
